Joan Jett is best known for loving rock ‘n’ roll, both in the specific sense that her biggest hit is “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” and in the general sense.

Jett and her band, the Blackhearts, will perform at the Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino at 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5. It will be a safe bet, even by casino standards that Jett will perform all of her hits including “Crimson and Clover,” “Bad Reputation” “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” and “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah).”

Top-20 hits on the Billboard charts aside, Jett has also played an important role in music in ways that don’t show up on the stat sheets. She’s like the rocker equivalent to Shane Battier that way.

Jett was a founding member of the all-female band The Runaways who torched their way in a male-dominated rock scene. After the group’s breakup, Jett went solo, forming The Blackhearts, and released a slew of hits and albums that went Gold or Platinum.
